You framed it, intentionally, as them playing a less than good team close.
I framed it as, quite literally, " a 1 point victory over a 4-loss syracuse". That is a black and white fact.
-As for being on the road, let's not pretend Syracuse is known as some difficult place to play.
-As for having Donavan McNabb at QB..sure he's good. It's kind like Ant Edwards playing for UGA though...you can have a stud on the field and that not necessarily mean your TEAM is great .
-You mention some of the wins they had (which several aren't even very impressive) so to provide more "context" let's look a little deeper.
-No issues with celebrating the UM win. That was a solid feather in the cap.
-They lost to a 5-loss NCSt that finished unranked
-Lost to a 4-loss WV that finished unranked.
-They beat VT as you menitoned, who finished ranked 23rd.
-They beat UM as you menitoned, who was unranked with 2 weeks to go and finished ranked 20th.
-Lost by 3 TDs to florida
So their overall resume consists of:
-1 really good solid win
-2 wins that don't completely suck over teams barely finishing ranked
-4 losses, of which only 1 would be a "good loss".
You seemed to think I was saying Syracuse was some scrub (which I wasn't), but you seem to be going the other direction and propping them up to be some kind of huge resume boosting win, which they decidedly were not.
